Administrative Hearings

When the alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct is of a less serious nature
and the misconduct would not result in suspension, expulsion, or dismissal, a student
may be notified to attend an administrative hearing with a University staff member
(normally the associate dean or a resident director) to discuss the incident and any
steps that must be taken or sanction imposed to resolve the matter. Before the administrative
hearing, the student will be sent a notification letter briefly summarizing the behavior
that allegedly violates the Student Code of Conduct, along with the date and time
of the hearing. The administrative hearing will be followed by an official letter
summarizing the decision.

Sanctions imposed as a result of an administrative hearing cannot be appealed. Sanctions
imposed by the Student Disciplinary Committee may be appealed; therefore, students
who are summoned to an administrative hearing may request instead to meet with the
Student Disciplinary Committee if they want an appeal option.
